In much the same way that SPF (Sun Protection Factor) determines the level of UV protection in a sunscreen, Environmental Protection Factor (EPF) determines the level of environmental protection in a topical antioxidant. EPF is protection against oxidative stress caused by environmental elements such as UV light, air pollution, ozone, cigarette smoke, and even oxygen itself. In the EPF study, the highest rated topical antioxidant was idebenone (EPF 95 out of 100), the active ingredient in Prevage MD.
